It all began as a small mindful plant based treats and herbal tonics catering business and market stall in Napier,
New Zealand with Shardasia Schwass in 2017.
Mindful Mindfood has since expanded to a holistic health and wellness sanctuary after travelling through China, India, Nepal, Vietnam and Indonesia learning about eastern history and philosophy, studying yoga, sound therapy, personal training, coaching , nutrition and naturopathy to now sharing yogic practices, sound therapy and holistic wellness modalities around studios, retreats and wellness festivals around New Zealand since 2019.
We currently offer our services one on one or in small groups online.
"Our vision here at Mindful Mindfood is to empower all beings to live their most fulfilled lives,
for the benefit of all beings." - Shardasia Schwass.
The Team
Shardasia Schwass
- Founder and Lead Guide at Mindful Mindfood
Kia Ora and Namaste, my name is Shardasia and I am the intuitive mind and creatress behind Mindful Mindfood.
My passion for all things wellness lead me here with a vision of empowering others to live their most fulfilled lives.
I have been a practising student of Yoga for about 10 plus years and in 2018 and 2019 I travelled to India and Nepal to attain this ancient knowledge and wisdom of Eastern Philosophies. In this time I attended a 200 Hour Kundalini Tantra Yoga Teacher Training, along with Reiki and Tibetan Singing Bowl Sound Therapy courses, in Rishikesh , this was where a set of bowls found me and I bought them back along with knowledge and teachings to share these powerful tools with my home country of New Zealand.
I continued to deepen my practice in 2021 and attended a 200 hour Multi-Style Yoga Teacher Training in Yoga Nidra, Yin, Hatha and Vinyasa here in New Zealand. Most recently I studied a Diploma of Holistic Health Science towards Nutrition and Naturopathy.
Driven by my number one goal to inspire and plant mindful seeds that lead towards self discovery and empowerment to develop a ripple effect for worldly peace and compassion for the benefit of all beings.

A Private Sound Healing Session
"Thank-you so much for your healing session, it was truly amazing! Over the past 2 weeks I have felt a major shift in my energy and I am feeling super grounded and light.
After months and months of being extremely low in energy and trying everything within my power to find balance again within my mind, body and soul, your healing session has truly helped me to re-connect with myself again!."

70 Days of Self-Care
“I have been inspired to journey with Shardasia through the 70 Days of Self Care Challenge two years in a row now and am incredibly grateful.
Both journeys have been profound with the depths of what I have moved through within the 70 days. I have met and learned to love more of me. Growing and showing up in my day to day life more authentically, feeling safe to do so because I've cultivated through the acts of self care and self love I have built the self trust I had been searching for..."
